1. By the looks of it, only one Eeveelution will be released. All of the other ones had partner-types (based on what was left of the types), and Dragon is sort of a legendary-type that could easily stand alone.

Or it could be a duo. One in the Genesect movie, another appearing in the eeveelution mini movie.

But dragon would still be the best stand alone.

Anyway, what do you think the new Eeveelution will specialize in? Looking back (based on stats):

Actually, all of their stats are the same, just mixed around. They always have 130 in one, 110 in another, then 95, 65, 65, 60.

So on a totally random note, what is a good starter team for someone getting into this? I am still a bit lost, even with Smogon x.x;

*hides in a pokeball*

A good starter team? Generally, competitive players use their own teams, but I suppose having one given to you is a good way to get started. I'll see if I can find you a good one.

http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthr...se)&highlight=
How about this one? Bulky offense, I think, is a good place to get started. Like stall, it means you have to counter pokemon as much as you can, and look for threats to your final sweeper. Playing with it should get you a good idea of the metagame after a while.

It is a tad bit outdated, but it should work well enough. Or, if you want one kind of easy to use from the start, I can bring up a purely offensive team I've made for you. Even it's very strait forward, and if you know how to use the team itself, doesn't require as much competitive skill.

Ok, so I typed the whole thing up, realized it was really long and really rambly, so decided to spoiler it. I still want people to read it, it's just... Well, read it. I'm not even going to bother trying to organize it. Have fun lol Spoiler:- Thoughts and Ramble:

Wow, that's mind blowing, and really interesting. They have a good point, actually. Problem is, it's too soon. We have yet to get a remake (as I expect it will be of Gen III).
Then again, it seems like Gamefreak is getting kind of bored with Generation 5. We haven't actually gotten very many event pokemon or anything like that. They've had some lame releases in the DW, but other than that, nothing but Keldeo and Genesect (and Zekrom/Reshiram and Mewtwo, now that I think about it. But that's about it).
One thing's for sure: expect a new game next year, be it a remake or something for generation VI. Gamefreak has already broken its pattern of New gen, remake, third game by not only omitting the remake altogether but creating two sequels. So don't be surprised.
...And now I'm rambling.

Anyway, what do you think the new Eeveelution will specialize in? Looking back (based on stats):Vaporeon is a Special tankJolteon is a clear sweeperFlareon is a physical tank... ThingEspeon as well based on her statsUmbreon is meant to be a wall/tank thing Leafeon is meant to be a tank imo, but has Chlorophyll and decent Speed.Glaceon meant to be a tanky Special Attacker (which is the dumbest thing ever considering its typing)

So by the looks of it, we're getting a physical sweeper Eeveelution next. The question is, which type? I say Dragon for a number of reasons:
1. By the looks of it, only one Eeveelution will be released. All of the other ones had partner-types (based on what was left of the types), and Dragon is sort of a legendary-type that could easily stand alone.
2. If my logic stands, and the new eeveelution is a high Attack sweeper... Well, let's take a look at Dragonite, Salamence, Flygon... There are more, but I forgot how to spell some of their names :P. Hopefully you see my point.
3. Dragon is a reasonable type to design into Eevee. In fact, I'd say it's the easiest of the types remaining. Steel seems too simple, Fighting Flying are illogical, Poison would be weird to do, Bug is straight-up lame, and the only other logical choice for me, Ghost, seems like it wouldn't work based on my previous two points.
4. Finally, Gamefreak clearly loves Eevee, and clearly loves Dragon types. So do all other pokemon fans, basically. Why not showcase a combination of the two in a new movie as a preview for things to come?

Of course, this is all on the assumption that my earlier logic about the stats for the eeveelution stands. Regardless, my fourth point is my strongest, as Dragon is often considered a "legendary type".

So, as this thread is deader than the area around Chernobyl way back when, DISCUSS! Even if everything is just speculation and may not even be true, it's an interesting discussion.

Hmm, your points make sense, though I'm not sure how I feel about the color scheme. Even if the Espeon arrow is pointing to the wrong one, it'd still be some sort of pink it looks like. I dunno, but I just don't think dragon type when I see pink. Normal is an obvious answer, but that probably wont be happening. I'd like to see it be a Ghost type I think. Or maybe poison. Either of those types would at least somewhat fit the pink color (to an extent). The main thing that bugs me is the stars that are also in that title image. That again makes me think some chansey or audino or clefable-ish pink thing shooting out stars or something. I suppose Eevee technically /could/ evolve into a more buff normal type, but that'd be weird and pointless (maybe).

Your House:Emerald
Opponent's House:Cirtine
Opponent's Name: Darklord18
Win/Loss/Draw + Score: D/C'd with Jirachi with a +6 calm mind and the score 6/5 so we decided that i won so - Win
Rate your performance out of 50: errrr a 30
Rate opponent's performance out of 50: about a 20
Any improvements for opponent: none that i can think of :/
Any thing else worth mentioning?: Rachi, nuff said?

It would also defeat e purpose of Eevee and its evolutions. Eevee is genetically weird so that it can evolve into different types to be.a sort of "super Pokemon". Evolving into the same type would not only be redundant, but make one seem either more or less special than the others (as all of the hotheads are different types).

Well I did say that that would be kinda stupid. The only way that that could even make sense would be if it was like... a super great pokemon. If that were the case, it wouldn't get any sort of type advantage over anything due to being a normal type, but it would be a bamf. xD

I'd say that Dragon is unlikely since it's a type that's reserved for more... legendary things. Unless it's like the ultimate Eevee and one must journey across a region to find the Dragoneevee stone to trun the Eevee to turn it into the mighty Drageon! Ooooh!

Based on Group Stage Performances, Activity, who's still here and other things.

Overall

Spoiler:- 3rd Place:

Citrine

Spoiler:- 2nd Place:

Tourmaline

Spoiler:- WINNERS!:

Zircon! Congratulations!

It's been too hard to work out points values, so I haven't.

As for the other awards, Tormented wins Golden Pokeball, and I think Tormented and Ninja Dewott should battle out for tournament winner, if they want.

Congratulations to everyone who took part! I'll get some reward Userbars/Banners made

Ok guys, I'm currently gathering ideas and changes for the New Year, and I'm planning a fairly big overhaul, so I'm open to any ideas on what we could do to change things around. Obviously, the aptly-named "Great Migration" has hit us quite hard and I'm keen to get back up and running at full speed asap.

Hey Serebii, how you doing? Not sure how many of you guys from way back are out there, but just to let you know that I'm back, though I'm not sure how regularly I'll be on. Thanks for everything, and I hope I can continue to enjoy my time here!

Actually, before the Great Migration, CG was really powerful, winning almost all of our wars and having a massive influx of members.

You know, I thought about it for a while, and technically, the Great Migration began with the revival of Team Sky. That's when people really began leaving, and shortly afterwards Danger Inc. was founded (even if the clan wasn't officially created until much later).

What was the "Great Migration"?

Good to know, and thanks.

No, that's only for stupid Nintendo-sponsored tournaments, mostly.
Or for personal challenges, but usually only with offensive teams.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Loads of people left. Most to found/co-found a new clan, others because they decide to hop on the wagon.

If it comes in tins, do you think someone could arrange for a few tins to be served up to some other clans, most notably Danger Inc.?

More or less what it says it is. The entire clan, barring about ten people, only three of which are leaders, left for various reasons. Most wanted to join the new Danger inc, while a couple others just wanted to join a different clan. One person quit competitive pokemon altogether. What we have now is a mere skeleton of our past clan, at least in numbers.
